I used to sink hours and hours into this game on the original Playstation back in the 90's, so this is incredibly nostalgic for me.
From the music, to the sounds, everything is tied up in memories of yesteryear.
First, you'll hear the intro music, then a practice match so I can remember the combos, then a survival match.
His friend also found a second controller which Jake picked up yesterday after this recording happened, so we played two-player and it was a lot of fun.
One of the first times I've been able to game with my son in this way and we both loved every minute of it.
Freedom isnβt freedom if itβs only for abled people.

For eight years Fedora has been shipping GNOME with a broken screen reader!
EIGHT YEARS!
(Wayland has been default on Fedora for eight years β since Fedora 25, released in 2016.)
And a hundred-billion-dollar corporation like IBM ships operating systems today based on it with a broken screen reader.
What is an ableist culture? One in which the people who call this out get ostracised.

I am unfollowing @aral@mastodon.ar.al. No matter my disagreements with GNOME folks in the past, COSMIC and GNOME are going to end up with the same accessibility backend, @accesskit, developed by the amazing @matt@toot.cafe.Fosstodon
It took 8 years for Wayland to develop some kind of semblance of accessibility. Calamares installer has had issues open for almost the same amount of time. Screen reader users, who are definitely not always developers or even open-source enthusiasts, who just want to use a piece of software like everybody else does, can't, and haven't been able to for a very, very long time without all kinds of blackbelt tech fuckery that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, let along a random user who just wants to try Linux. Such a user doesn't care about issues, or giving back to the community, or how to best and constructively provide feedback to the right person. THis user sees people exclude them for years, and then give them a hard time for daring to speak up. I have had people in my streams asking me if it's even worth creating issues because they feel they'll either be ignored or yelled at. Is that the message we want to send?

From this viewpoint, ANY Linux distro is outright hostile to a user with assistive tech needs. Many of them don't include a screen reader at all, which means a user who needs one can't install it by themselves. Some have one, but require a to the user unreachable checkbox to be enabled first. Some have a screen reader, but no voice to speak through. And that's just screenreaders.
Xorg is a security risk so the change was warranted is all well and good, but what a lot of these projects fail to take into account is that accessibility should be up there with security, localization, performance etc., because otherwise you're, at this point, wilfully discriminating against potential users. Not fun to say, not fun to hear I'm sure, but a fact nonetheless. And I get to say this. As a developer who's fully blind, has a 40-hour a week job, and would very much like to find an OS that isn't Windows/Mac OS without having to essentially rearchitect the entire freaking accessibility API before I do anything else, i get to bitch when literally an entire ecosystem figures that I'll get my turn years, maybe even decades after everybody else is already moving onto the next thing. Even if I don't have issues to my name that provide me that street cred, sorry to say

Apple Explains iPhone 15 Pro Requirement for Apple Intelligence: The iPhone 15 Pro models use the A17 Pro chip, which has a 16-core Neural Engine that's up to 2x faster than the A16 chip found in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, performing nearly 35 trillion operations per second. Federighi hinted that RAM is also another aspect of the system that the new AI features require, so it is perhaps no coincidence that all the devices compatible with Apple Intelligence have at least 8GB of RAM.
